Specially due to Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika padukone starer "Chennai express". I am sure the producers would not mind the media attention its getting.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Racism is not just one way traffic that flows from North India to south India, Its omnidirectional &nbsp;People from North who stay and work in South crib about the food, language and other things, same with people of south who stay in North, they crib about the same stuff. Bengali's, Bihari's and people from that entire East India, do crib when they travel and vise verse when people from West Indian states like Gujarat and Rajasthan go cross country. India is a land steeped in varied customs and culture. And many people have not traveled out of their villages to experience other cultures and states. Hence its natural to speculate about things you have not seen and they spread it too. Don't Tamil movies&nbsp;stereotype&nbsp;north&nbsp;Indians&nbsp;as sethiji, sardars as dumb and these characters are supposed to directly/indirectly elicit laughter from the audience. How many Tamil movies are there with hero's as north Indians? In south many people think all from North speak Hindi, is this correct? So to pin point one section of the country for racism is wrong. We all need to correct ourselves from within.<b>(I have given&nbsp;example&nbsp;of only Tamil movie, same applies with&nbsp;Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, Oriya, Marathi, Bengali and the list goes on)</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Movie industry is a commercial Industry and runs on profit. So it would show what sells. If you do not like something do not watch it. Haven't movie industry across India stereotyped Bengali's as nerds, who speak in heavy bong accent (I am a bong and speak a normal accent...and...I think I am not a nerd!), Punjabi's as dumb, Bihari's and UP's as goons, people from west i.e. Gujarati's and Rajasthan are cast as marwadi's and hence stingy, all people from east India are shown as goorkhas.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In India every region is associated with a caricature, we can either huff and puff and point fingers at each other and say how nasty they are OR take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy ourselves being made fun off. Because fun is always at the expense of others. Just think when was the last time you laughed at a street light, at a tree out side your house or a stone on the road? We always laugh making fun of someone, girls make fun of boys, boys make fun of girls, we make fun of colleagues in office and of friends. When others make fun of you, you get an equal opportunity to make fun of them. On the whole we all get to laugh a lot and concentrate on much more serious issues effecting us.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lets not fuel intolerance and forget to laugh at OURSELVES!</span></div>Simon D Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749167148913811478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10848888.post-66965374773681419792012-02-13T11:28:00.001+05:302012-02-13T11:28:32.947+05:30New PostNew post after a long timeSimon D Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749167148913811478noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10848888.post-34119415565669379532010-09-02T14:45:00.004+05:302010-09-02T15:07:24.467+05:30SubWay - Sub Standard Food<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Toq8YbybK6w/TH9wOJUGtpI/AAAAAAAAAHU/7RAwRQjZq5Y/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Toq8YbybK6w/TH9wOJUGtpI/AAAAAAAAAHU/7RAwRQjZq5Y/s400/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512247857245501074" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Toq8YbybK6w/TH9wNIJoAhI/AAAAAAAAAHM/xEkoHjnSXd8/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Toq8YbybK6w/TH9wNIJoAhI/AAAAAAAAAHM/xEkoHjnSXd8/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512247839753241106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Toq8YbybK6w/TH9wMUwV9LI/AAAAAAAAAHE/P6HAqZ0bJgE/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Toq8YbybK6w/TH9wMUwV9LI/AAAAAAAAAHE/P6HAqZ0bJgE/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512247825956992178" border="0" /></a><br />After a long time(Almost 3 years) I went to Subway(Indiranagar), was really hungry and wanted to eat some Veg and non-veg lunch. I selected what I wanted to eat on the net so that I don't wast time selecting it there. I wanted to eat Chicken, Turkey and roasted lamb sub. When we reached there Lamb was not there in the menu, so I decided to eat Chicken and Turkey sub instead. It looked big and good, but my first bite reveled a hair in it. I did not make a fuss of it and informed the guys of it, they gave me another sub, but just as was about to finish it I found another hair. This totatly put me off. I complained to the guys there but they ignored it and looked at me as if I had put it in it.<br /><br />It was just not me, my friend who is a hardcore vegi found a chicken feather in his Veg-Sub. I can understand a piece of chicken, BUT a chicken feather? Thats not acceptable to a non-vegi let alone and veg guy. So my friend decided to call the outlet manager (Sanjay Bajaj). The only thing he kept repeating was it will not happen again, but now since it has happened he can't do anything about it. Thats for quality control. Have posted the pics of the Sub too(one with hair). Forgot to take pics of the one with chicken feather.Simon D Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749167148913811478noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10848888.post-77249131594710358112009-08-20T19:26:00.003+05:302009-08-20T20:14:42.250+05:30ManchinbeleI had been to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Manchinbele</span> last week, its a reservoir created by a small dam surrounded by small hills. Its decent place for day out with friends and close to city, its approx 45 km from Bangalore on Mysore road. One has to leave early though or you might get stuck in traffic within the city limits. People who have been there before say early morning is a good time for bird watching... did see some birds but did not have a good camera.<br /><br />We carried along some food with us and also a charcoal grill and lost of chicken. Turned out to be good as there is nothing you can do their you need some activity to be going. It was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fun</span> lighting up the coal(almost took us 45 min) as non of us do it regularly. The chicken was marinated over night and turned out to be really juicy and tasty when cooked. the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">recipe</span> too was an experiment and also a little bit of help from our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Mommy's</span> at home. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Recipe</span> was simple<br /><br />We used some off the shelf <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Tandoori</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">masala</span>, Turmeric powder, Ginger,Garlic and salt to taste.<br /><br />Chicken 4 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Kgs</span><br />Garlic - 200 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">gms</span><br />Ginger - 200<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"> gms</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Turmeric</span> powder<br /><br />Make garlic ginger past, add turmeric and about 50-60<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">gms</span> of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">tandoori</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">masala</span> and mix well with chicken, add salt to taste, leave it over night in the fridge do not put in the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">freezer</span>.<br /><br />Next day light up your charcoal <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">grill</span>, and it won't long to eat your juicy chicken.<br /><br />Though the dam is close to the city, it is quite secluded and doesn't look safe for couples planing an outing...its always good to go in a group. Villagers might drop in asking for some food or money.<br /><br />You might find couple of cops standing at just before a turn leading to the dam and might stop you going there... looked like they just wanted to make some money... we <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">didn't</span> pay though just drove in. Cops don't seem to there to help people rather want to make some quick bucks.<br /><br />The drive from <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Wonder la</span> to the dam is quite picturesque and green, you would enjoy it, try not to drive fast as the roads are narrow you might never now, there could be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Kidd's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">running</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">around</span> in the next corner.<br /><br />Some tips that would be handy<br /><br /><ul><li>DO NOT try to swim in the waters until are an expert in it as there is no one to rescue.</li><li>Though there are hills surrounding the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">reservoir</span> there are no <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">shady</span> trees...it was lush green when we visited as its a rainy season. </li><li>Carry sun screen lotion along</li><li>Sun <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Glass</span></li><li>Food,beverages and fresh water to drink, you won't find these there.(<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Believe</span> me carry a grill along it <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">awesome</span> to cook and eat, the chicken doesn't taste better than this)</li><li>Go in a group</li><li>Need to answer nature call in the nature.</li></ul>Will post some photos soon.Simon D Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749167148913811478noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10848888.post-77781232040377959232009-08-01T14:40:00.005+05:302009-08-20T19:23:29.702+05:30Trip to ChennaiHad been to Chennai couple of weeks back for BD meetings, love to go for these meetings, love to make presentations, love the feeling that it might generate new business... BUT the journey this time wasn't pleasant at all.<br /><br />It started with a mild surprise, my ticket was booked on a Sangeetha Volvo for a bus leaving at 11:30 pm, my friend came to drop me at the bus stop and while waiting for the bus we went into a chat about our conquests, goof ups and how to avoid getting into a marriages... didn't know how time went by, it was 11:45 and no sign of a any bus, then a bus came in called SEA BIRD and the conductor started shouting Chennai...Chennai...Chennai, since it wasn't from Sangeetha travels we continued chatting, but soon realized that we were alone there all other people waiting for bus to Chennai are gone are gone, just thought, let me enquire with SEA BIRD just in case... and guess what he said "Sir this is a bus from Sangeetha travels" just took two step back and checked the bus to see if I had missed to read Sangeetha (my boss complains I miss out on details sometimes) but I was sure even he wouldn't find it. I didn't know when Sangeetha travels changed to SEA BIRD travels, I boarded the bus said my friend good by and started looking for my seat... there it was, a window seat I looked up for a place to keep my bag as I kept it and walked towars my seat... woaooo...awa...it was the worst odor one could come across, it was like thousand world war II soldiers removing the show after 5 years of war...add to that the snoring of a man in the seat behind, it sound like someone has serious constipation...add to that a boring movie that was on.<br />All my three senses were under attack, this was only bus journey I made with a hand kirchief tied around my nose for the entire journey.<br />Overall it was a good trip though...Simon D Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749167148913811478noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10848888.post-70975255633421675022009-06-23T10:02:00.002+05:302009-06-23T10:19:11.290+05:30I am backAt last I have my blog back, I used to maintain this blog and had also bought a domain name for the same.

It was really awesome, ok I am writting it a little late but then if you see my past post they have been copy past's. You see I just can't get myself to write when I don't feel like and most of the time I don't. Coming back to the topic, it happend in Microsoft Bangalore. I met so many different kinds of people who are passionate about writing some very pasionate about the topics they write. One guy who stood out was <a href="http://comradechakra.blogspot.com/">comradechakra</a> with his stories about red panties and sex on A380, this guy had amazing sense of humor ( not just b'cause he spoke about red panties and sex) . I can't discribe it but it was kinda subtle, kinda humor at which our Sidhu won't laugh at ( you see it won't penetrate deep enough INTO HIS HEAD)<br />Note: It won't penetrate deep enough, Not because of his turban.<br /><br />Then there were guys who had fatwa against them for writing some posts I think he was a guy from <a href="http://mutiny.in/"> mutiny</a> . Though he din't say what he wrote about to earn the fatwah. I did try to find some inflammatory post in that blog by putting in some nasty words in search, but I gave up.<br /><br />Then there was this guy from <a href="http://leadcap.org/blog/">Lead cap</a> I think his name was Sandeep. Though he was passionate about leadership and we as nation should produce more leaders, stuff like that. I agree he is doing something good, but some how it didn't create the impact.<br /><br />We also had to introduce ourself one by one. At first I thought its gona be same boring thing that we did in our school days when a new teacher replaces the old one. But it turned out to be fun as they spoke about their blogs and what they write. One guy also gave suggestion that we should compansate the Auto walas with some money every month by putting adds on the Autos so that they don't charge us extra. Atleast he was thinking of doing somthing to put and end to the trouble bangloreans face with transport. But I din't really agree with his suggestion ( I'll write why some other day).<br /><br />Their were lots interesting people there, but now I am running out of patience ( I already spent some time figuring out what the spelling of patience is. I had to Google it) to write bout them.<br />Many people tell me to use MS word to check spellings, but I always find solace in Google when I am connected to the net.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.indiblogger.in/">Indiblogger</a> is organising meets in Hydrabad and Pune on 01/03/2008 at 16:00 and 15/03/2008 at 17:00 respectively.

I sit by the door anyway and try to get out when I can. But sometimes it takes me by surprise and just pops out," he said, quoted by The Guardian daily.</p><p>"I think someone has complained about the noise. I am a loud farter, but there is no smell," he added, noted that "there is no smell at all since I gave up the cider and started on the Bass (a type of beer)."</p><p>The letter from the club committee confirmed that others had been disturbed.</p><p>"After several complaints regarding your continual breaking of wind (farting) while in the club, would you please consider that your actions are considered disgusting to fellow members and visitors," it said.</p><p>"You sit close to the front door, so would you please go outside when required. So please take heed of this request," it added.</p><p>Fox -- who said he gets no complaints at another nearby club he attends two days a week -- voiced surprise that he had received no oral warning before the written complaint.</p><p>But he admitted they had a point. "I do not think it is unreasonable, you get ladies in there," he said.</p><p>"The ladies find it a bit rude but the men have a chuckle. My wife died seven years ago and I live on my own so I might have lost a few social graces.
